Abstract
Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) systems using anode off-gas and process heat for endothermic fuel reforming promise outstanding system efficiency for power generation from hydrocarbon fuels. A project team of four research institutions developed a stand-alone and thermally self-sustaining SOFC system with 830 Watt gross power and 54 % electrical system efficiency (gross, based on fuel LHV). A commercially available integrated stack module (Staxera ISM) of sunfire GmbH (Dresden, Germany) was used as SOFC.
